Metaplane is joining @datadoghq! 🚀

After 5 years helping data teams build trust, we're bringing data observability to 30,000+ Datadog customers and beyond.

Together, we're excited to connect software and data teams with complete visibility across the entire data lifecycle.

I recently took @shreyas's Improving Your Product Sense course on Maven. It was easily the best course I've taken online 🙌

The title implies it's a course about product, but it improves your thinking around marketing, product, sales, CS... everything is a product!

[Tobi Coker @tecoker]

Not all data are created equal.
Not all data will be used the same way.
How you intend to use your data will dictate the frequency and precision you need.

Listen to @metaplane's @kevinzenghu discuss how the best teams make data-driven decisions and empower their data teams to impact the business.

[Kevin Hu @kevinzenghu]

I’m happy to announce our $13.8M Series A led by @felicis, with participation from @khoslaventures, @ycombinator, @flybridge, @Stage2Capital, @dropalltables, B37 Ventures, and an incredible group of investors and advisors.

Metaplane preserves trust in data by ensuring data teams are the first to know about data issues.

In 2024, “is this number accurate?” shouldn’t be a question anyone asks. By connecting to a company’s entire data infrastructure, Metaplane intelligently understands when the most important data is facing quality issues and alerts the right people before impact to the business.

Last year, we shared our plans to go from detection to prevention, and from monitoring data quality to data usage and spend. We built those and more through 50+ product launches. And in parallel, we grew our revenue by 6x and customer base by 3x, ranging from the fastest-growing companies like Ramp and Klaviyo, to large enterprises like Bose and Sotheby’s.

With today’s additional funding, we are pressing our technical advantage as the most powerful data observability platform. More on this in the link below.

Thank you to our customers, investors, and friends, without whom this would not be possible: @jsoltero, @tecoker, @jonchu, @nikitabase, @KanuGulati, @dharmesh, @chazard, @bussgang, @itsthomson, @aaron_epstein, @rauchg, @maccaw, @DSJayatillake

[Ian Macomber @iandmacomber]

Really excited for Ryan (@tryramp) and @nikhilbenesch's (@MaterializeInc) talk today at #dbtCoalesce! 🚀

You'll learn how data teams pivot from batch analytical reporting to event-driven operations, and how Ramp fights fraud on behalf of our customers.

[New product announcement 🎉]

Raise your hand if you’ve ever...

- Changed a dbt model that broke a downstream BI dashboard

- Removed a table to see if any reports still rely on it 😅

- Wondered how much a table is really used by the analyst that asked for it

[Peter Casinelli @PeterCasinelli]

Really enjoyed this post on building a data stack from the data team @Whatnot and starting from first principles! https://t.co/1b4Z1tf1Ua

[Kevin Hu @kevinzenghu]

@sarahmk125 hit the nail on the head in her new post: analytics teams are on the hook to debug and fix data quality issues, but the reality is that data quality begins and ends outside of the analytics team.

@pedram_navid I've found it useful for product teams measuring active usage and funnels (mostly in a B2B context). You can track webpage views to get a full picture of user behavior, but you'd probably need to be careful if you're building a B2C app because you may run into limits sooner!

@bernhardsson @xamat Have you tried @dashlane? I’ve been a happy customer for years.

We're so excited that Jen Huang has joined Metaplane! Our co-founders got the chance to work with her at HubSpot, where she was a Principal Tech Lead touching all things backend.

What is metadata, why does it matter, and how do you use it?

I had a great time collaborating with the team @SecodaHQ on this primer on all things metadata: https://t.co/gx0yF4BWzZ

[Jon Krohn @JonKrohnLearns]

This week's guest is the fun and wildly intelligent entrepreneur, Kevin Hu, PhD (@kevinzenghu). Inspired by his doctoral research at MIT, he co-founded @metaplane, a Y-Combinator-backed data observability platform.

[Kevin Hu @kevinzenghu]

Had a lot of fun talking to @jeremiecharris on the @TDataScience podcast about the origins of observability in control theory (starting from *the* James Clerk Maxwell), how it has translated over to software and most recently to data

Whipping out my trusty Jupyter notebook today (1pm ET!) at @coalesceconf to show how the @getdbt Metadata API can be used for real-time monitoring, impact analysis, and historical understanding — all in a notebook you can use yourself! #dbtCoalesce
